I'm so jealous...but at least I have your YouTubes to watch, Bill.
Congratulations Conchita!!!!!!
I dunno, I don't think it was better than previous years? I'm pleased you understood the voting, I've never been able to work that out . Liverpool is always like that btw.Well - THIS is an old thread !!
While we might not be in the EBU catchment area, my daughter and I started watching Eurovisions on YouTube from years ago during lockdown. For a giggle. Because we are serious music lovers.
Absolutely excellent entertainment. So much so, that we've now become staunch Eurovision fans (quite unironically - deeply following all the way through from before the semi-finals even).
So last night was the 2023 final, staged and co-hosted in Liverpool by the UK on behalf of last year's winners, Ukraine.
And quite a nail biting finish it was too. Even though we were rooting for Finland, Sweden won due to the landslide jury-vote, Loreen being only the second person ever to win it twice and the first woman to do so (she had previously won in 2012 with her song Eurphoria)
So : much emotion and Liverpool really pulled out all the stops and put on a marvelously polished show.
Did any of you watch?
Completely understand the voting, I'm an old hand at this by nowI dunno, I don't think it was better than previous years? I'm pleased you understood the voting, I've never been able to work that out . Liverpool is always like that btw.

It's still not easy to watch in the US.Did any of you watch?
We got it live streaming on YouTubeIt's still not easy to watch in the US.
Things have changed quite a bit since thenNah, I last watched it in 1984, and think that will do, until I park my slippers.
Nah, had better things to do, like catching up on Cameraderie!Did any of you watch?
The musical quality was no better at all but the staging was slick and impressive and there were no glitches.. which is more than can be said for last year's bumbling in Italy where the main stage lights failedI dunno, I don't think it was better than previous years?

All part of the fun. Can’t be too slick now.last year's bumbling in Italy where the main stage lights failed
I 100% agree @Matero !!! and so did the public vote. Everybody chanting 'Cha Cha Cha' as the winner was announced!Käärijä should have won

May have been a hard pill to swallow for Loreen. We attempted to watch Käärijä's live-stream concert last night broaccast
by Yle Areena – Enemmän kuin ehdit katsoa ja kuunnella , but it was difficult - there were lots of patches when we lost connectivity.
However, after the concert had ended, my daughter alerted me to continue watching on the channel - there was a programme about
au-pairs in South Africa. We watched it for the familiar landmarks, but of course could not understand anything they were saying
